After an already huge year, Perth indie punk outfit Sly Withers today add the icing to the cake with the release of their highly-anticipated, new EP, Gravis.
Featuring the already released singles ‘Lately’ (featuring fellow West Australian star on the rise Carla Geneve) and ‘Sad Guy,’ Gravis features four more tracks that stand as the sum of years of hard work gigging around Perth, touring the country, and writing song after song after song that has maneuverered them into this exciting chapter of their career.

“We’ve been working real hard on this sh*t for six years,” says guitarist and singer Sam Blitvich. “We’ve learned to write together, we learned to play together, and we learned to play live shows together and be a band. We’ve done everything for such a long time and we’ve put the work in over the years and it’s really nice to get the pay-off for all that hard work.”
Those hard yards have recently paid off by earning the band regular triple j play, widespread media praise, and extremely some juicy support slots, including recently being announced as the main supports to chart-topper and not-so-low-key pop punk fan Amy Shark, who is taking the boys on the road for a regional Australia tour. The band themselves have also announced a run of their own headline tour dates to support the EP, with all upcoming shows listed below.
Consisting of members Jono Mata (guitar / vox), Blitvich (guitar / vox), Joel Neubecker (drums) and Shea Moriarty (bass), Sly Withers have steadily built a fan and critical following thanks to songs like ‘Lately’ and ‘Sad Guy,’ as well as the independently released singles ‘Closer,’‘Pleb,’and ‘Google Maps,’which has earned them props from national tastemakers like triple j Unearthed, The Music, Pilerats, Life Without Andy and Hhhhappy.
Gravis was recorded over the last 18 months, with sessions recorded by Michael Jelinek (Psychedelic Porn Crumpets) and Matthew Templeman (Make Them Suffer, Treehouses), and produced and mixed by Templeman at his studio in Mount Hawthorn. It features sensational new moments of unreleased gold. Letting ‘Good Days, Bad Days’ build up before it explodes at the 1:30 min mark; the vulnerability of Mata’s voice above the beefy, plucked guitar lines on ‘Checkout’; the unbridled emotion in the lyrics in ‘Irrational’; the pure ’90s pop punk of ‘Canine’– if you like harmonies, distorted guitars and your music with effervescent energy, this will be one of your favourite records of the year.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
